The Kilty is a real cutie !
Fir and British Tan Large Kilty
A combination of a wallet and a purse, the Kilty has a place for everything and everything in its place.
One of its signature design elements is the kilty on each end of the bag. A kilty is a small kilt and is sometimes seen on shoes or boots.

When it was sold new in the 1980s, the Large Kilty came with a coin purse, a removable checkbook cover, and a sliding shoulder pad.
The Large Kilty with all its parts, the coin purse and removable checkbook cover.
The Kilty’s sliding shoulder pad.
Often one or more of these items are missing in a used bag.
The Large Kilty is model number 45 and when the bag has British Tan trim, the designation is R in front of the number.
So this Fir Green and British Tan Large Kilty is a R45.
